Maybe I’m just looking for headlines to get depressed about, but today’s news is making me feel like a dinosaur. These two headlines in particular:
CBC Radio Orchestra to disband after 70 years.
Sigh. Culture is deader than Dillinger.
After 80 years, Canadian Tire stops publishing catalogues
I can’t remember not having a Canadian Tire catalogue in the house. It was something to thumb through as a kid. I was always impressed by the weird fishing gear, like hip waders. And camping stuff. We didn’t camp, as my father was anti-sleeping-on-the-ground ("I slept on the ground for 5 years during the War. Never again"), so I used to look at the different tents in the Canadian Tire catalogue, and read “sleeps two”, “sleeps four” or wow “sleeps six”. That’s a big tent.
Another depressing story: Tainted mozzarella from Italy. If you can’t trust Italian cheese, what can you trust?

but at least there's still canadian tire money!
Good point. The day they throw out Canadian Tire money is the day I become a hermit 4ever.
Who's the old guy on the Canadian Tire money? I must check that out.
I believe the man on the Candadian Tire money is either one of the Black Donnellys, or part of the mob that killed the Black Donnellys. One or the other. Or both. Ask Brian Busby. He'd know.
Killed the Black Donnells while wearing hip waders, I hope. While they snoozed in a tent that slept six?
Oh, that BJB just knows everything Canadian!
